For the past 6 months after my first and only panic attack, I've had some of the strangest and most disconcerting symptoms I've ever experienced. I developed tension headaches and migraines (that I have virtually everyday at some point & don't respond to treatment) sudden temporary deafness in one ear (it switches ear each time) followed by ringing (or tinnitus) for a few minutes until hearing returns. I've had muscles twitches, started seeing flashes, and have an odd clicking sound that I can almost feel at the top of my head, with every upward gait while walking. Most recently, a strange tingling will wash over my head for a few moments, intermittently throughout the day. I'm a 17 year old female, and am very healthy. However, I recently found out from several doctor visits that I have generalised anxiety, and these symptoms have put me under SEVERE stress both consciously and subconsciously for the past 5 months. I had my eyes checked, and the doctor said they were healthy, and a neurological exam, which I was also told I passed. However, my symptoms are still present and even seem to be getting worse (a product of stress?) and I'm deathly afraid it's a tumor, to the point I've convinced myself I'm going to die and have grown obsessed with symptom checking. Has anyone had something similar, or can provide insight as to whether I really do have a tumor??
Sounds horrendous
I just want to say how much my symptoms relate to yours I was convinced I had a brain tumour because every symptom your getting I get and the clicking sound was the one that always freaked me out everytime it happened I would have a panic attack I got diagnosed with health anxiety yesterday but my headaches have now gone and I’m just going to say I know it can’t be a tumour because they don’t come and go so hopefully that makes you a bit Better I was taking pain relief and it wasn’t getting rid of my headaches because I was that worried I was seriously sick so my anxiety was so high my headache wasn’t going. But now my headache has gone I get a pain somewhere new and then I think I’m sick again
you're exactly like me !sawyerz and kayleigh1412, i get headache for a week, it comes and goes, and ive convinced my self its brain cancer/tumor. everytime i stop worrying about a pain, another pain comes and it gives me anxiety again, HATE ANXIETY!!!!!!!! hope we all get better, and get anxiety away from us!
